*Today is the 12th straight day where MLB had to postpone >=1 game because of COVID
*Cardinals have played an MLB-low 5 games this yr
*5 teams are scheduled to play their 15th game tonight

Anyone get bent over by the new “postponements”?

But the incredibly stupid travel schedule falls on MLB and Manfred. Who cares where they play? Stop traveling from city to city. Stop all players from sitting together in the dugout. Mandate masks if that helps. Have a compliance officer travel with each team if needed and keep track of EVERYONE. T...

I'm not going to take a side in the debate yet as to how lucky this year's ME winner will be. It's too hard to predict at this time. IF everybody knew a month ago all these games were going to be "postponed" this first week from a COVID perspective, no one would have signed up for this reboot seaso...

Brewer and cardinal players now officially zeros for fri - sun.

As the frustrations with this season pile up we now have a new countdown to follow and track. The countdown to 600 games played to constitute a complete season should they abandon the season prematurely. So far we're at 92 Joe - Will you be updating the countdown clock? I could either look at that ...

Next up: 5-inning triple headers

“Every recent drafter knew the circumstances and possible flurry of postponements“

LOL. Some MLB teams haven’t even played 4 games.

There will be luck, however, whoever wins this have to hustle lineups and be on top of all the news. Different set of challenges. for sure, winners always need to hustle. however...All marlin players were deemed DOA FOR A WEEK after faab ran. players from multiple other teams are DOA for half the w...

Hi KJ - You must be just making a general observation about "quitters" as I don't see anyone quitting here. What I do see is a total MLB shit show. Greg's game is still fantastic and the best on the planet; however COVID and MLBs handling of it is turning this all into one big dart throw or a push o...

As the frustrations with this season pile up we now have a new countdown to follow and track. The countdown to 600 games played to constitute a complete season should they abandon the season prematurely. So far we're at 92 Joe - I would say there is a better chance of Greg cancelling the NFBC seaso...

Cardinals announce they are conducting rapid testing of the entire traveling party, implementing contact tracing and will continue to self-isolate at team hotel in Milwaukee. Said they learned late last night that two players tested positive in tests conducted Wednesday in Minn. Anyone have Indians ...

FWIW, this one is from Rototworld... Craig Mish of SportsGrid hears that it's two Cardinals players that have tested positive, while Joel Sherman of the New York Post adds that the Cardinals are self-isolating at their hotel and not going to the park. Also, if the positive test came while the Cardin...

* Brewers-Cardinals game tonight postponed due to positive test
* new 7-inning rules for doubleheaders

I took the list of postponed games right from MLBs website.

While I was holding out hope MLB could successfully pull this off, the first week has been nothing short of a fucking joke. Here we are spending thousands of dollars playing while taking ZEROS in our lineups because a whole MLB team is locked down, and of course the teams they were supposed to be pl...

Game should count, its part of MLB season. There is strategy especially in a short season to plan your last FAAB around possible tiebreaker games and possible pitchers who might pitch them.

THIS. Make it happen, Greg. Thank you

Let's start a new thread now that our Sprint drafts are starting and try to keep everyone up to speed. Has the player pool changed so much that players are now going higher or lower in drafts? Are there any new surprises in these drafts? Let's post the results on this thread, starting with Wednesda...

12 teamer - Morton in 5th?
10 teamer - Morton in 8th?

Looks like i could be a heavy Morton owner this year!

Greg - Do you have any Pete Rose autographed baseballs you can use to sweeten the pot for owners considering the Grand Slam Package?

everyone likes a discount!
$1,250 for a single main event
$1,200 per if purchasing multiple main events (ex Grand Slam Package of 4 ME teams is $4,800)

4 pack of ME teams is the Grand Slam Package!

Please Keep it 6 figures Greg. I’ll take 4 teams right out of the gate.

Thanks again for everything you (and Tom and Darik) do for the NFBC community.

#MLBPA has informed #MLB players will report on July 1st for July 24 Opening Day. 60 Game season in 66 days. They are both still working on finalizing safety and health protocols which quite frankly will be something both parties will continue to improve on going forward.

Start your “engines”

Reads last couple comments Lol........Mmmmmmkayyyyyyyy Anyways Guess this should be on an NFFC thread, but seeing how us baseball nerds are migratory birds to NFL in late summer/early fall. I'm seeing leagues being drafted and am wondering if any covid-19 disclaimers have been added, IE owners agre...
